To all whom "it may concern: y

Be it known that I, ELnoN H. SHAFER, a citizen ot the United l States,residing at Orenco, in the county of Vashington and State of Oregon,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in-Razor-Strops, ofwhich the following is a specification, reference being had therein tot-h'e accom.- panying drawing.,

This invention relates to receptaclesA for razors, and the principalobjectof the same is to provide a receptacle having a smaller receptaclemounted therein inwhich the razor is carried and to provide the outerreceptacle with acovering of leather or` some other similar material sothat the razor may be stropped upon the receptacle, the inner receptaclebeing drawn out part way to form a handle.

The invention is illustrated in the accom` panying drawings, wherein:

Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the device in position to be usedas a razor strop. Fi'g. 2 is a view of the receptacle closed. Fig. 3 isa section along the line 3 3, Fig. 2.

Referring'to the accompanying drawings by numerals it will' be seen thatthis inrention' comprises an outer receptacle 10 which is preferablyformed of vtin or some other rigid material and which is provided with acovering 11 of leather. A packing 12 is positioned between thereceptacle 10 and the covering 11 so that the strop will be, softer thanwould be the case if the leather were mounted directly upon the tinreceptacle. The outer edges of the receptacle are pro-- vided withrecesses 13 in opposite sides so that the inner receptacle may be drawnout easily when desired. A cover 14 is hinged to the outer receptacle 13and fits over the edges ot the outer receptacle when closed so that therazor will be held in the box. razor is kept in an inner receptacle 15which fits in the outer receptacle and is provided Specification ofLetters Patent.

W'hen using this device the cover is moved to the position shown inFig.` l and the project-ion 17 grasped and the inner receptacle drawnout as much as desired so that it will form a convenient handle. Therazor is then withdrawn from the inner receptacle and can be stroppedupon the leather covering of the outer receptacle. It will thus be vseenthat this device not only forms a receptacle for containing the razorbut is also used as a razor strop.
